Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, Allows Me to Defy Fate

Chapter 470 As expected, Yu Xiaoheng couldn't do it.

The Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red lacks the dazzling brilliance of other miraculous herbs, and it is not as large in size.

A dark red flower stood quietly on the black bloodstone. The edges of its petals were withered and shriveled, as if a gust of wind could blow it away. But beneath this seemingly fragile appearance, an extremely pure life force was brewing deep within the flower's heart.

It is maturing.

As the energy of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire continued to converge, a faint, blood-like rosy blush began to emanate from the dark red petals.

Yu Xiaoheng stood in front of the Black Blood Stone.

My gaze swept across the gaps around the flower, and the aura of my bloodline spread outward like ripples on water.

He was conducting reconnaissance.

Even though Lin's previous perception indicated safety, he still wanted to play it safe. The reconnaissance zone extended to the edge of the poisonous miasma, and apart from the slightest sounds of wind rustling through the grass, there were indeed no enemies present.

There were no ambushes, no residual soul power, and not even any traps.

Yu Xiaoheng withdrew his mental energy and refocused his gaze on the dark red acacia flower.

He knew the details of this miraculous herb very well.

This is a divine object that adheres to absolute principles. Only by having pure and genuine feelings in one's heart, without even the slightest impure thought or calculation, can one remove it.

Yu Xiaoheng considers himself an extremely rational person.

He becomes stronger by any means necessary, and every action and every battle is driven by a clear pursuit of self-interest.

He may not be able to be completely cold-blooded towards the people around him, but his emotions are mixed with too much rationality in weighing the pros and cons.

He definitely can't pick this flower.

But at this moment, looking at the peerless immortal herb so close at hand, a completely illogical thought suddenly popped into Yu Xiaoheng's mind.

He wanted to try it.

Even though he knew it was impossible, his hand reached out uncontrollably.

With fingers spread, the palm directly grasped the withered, dark red flower stem.

Just as his skin was about to touch the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

A blinding red light suddenly burst forth from deep within the flower's heart.

The pure medicinal power, accompanied by a strong sense of rejection, transformed into a scarlet halo that scattered and impacted in all directions.

If it were an ordinary Soul King or Soul Emperor, facing this sudden backlash, they would most likely be shaken to the point of having their blood and qi surge, or even have their heart meridians damaged on the spot.

But Yu Xiaoheng stood still, not moving an inch.

The phantom of the martial spirit flashed past behind him.

The powerful soul force of level 64 instantly surged, and golden-blue light automatically gathered in front of his chest to form a hard dragon scale phantom.

"boom--"

A muffled thud was heard.

The medicinal power struck the illusory dragon scales, dissipating into a whirlwind that bent the surrounding grass and leaves low.

Yu Xiaoheng slowly withdrew his hand.

He wasn't injured at all; the backlash from the medicine wasn't even enough to break through his defenses.

"what happened?"

Footsteps sounded behind me.

Rou'er walked over from behind.

She looked at the dark red flower that had regained its calm, then at Yu Xiaoheng's hand that had been knocked back by the red light, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Yu Xiaoheng turned around and his gaze fell on Rou'er's face.

Countless thoughts were racing through my mind.

Should we tell her the truth?

The intelligence itself is not the key; the key is what the impact will be on whether or not it is given.

The secret of the Acacia Heartbreak Red is known to very few people in the world.

Yu Xiaoheng's expression changed.

He decided to tell Rou'er the truth.

The psychology knowledge he learned in his previous life became his bargaining chip in assessing the situation.

People's thoughts directly influence their behavior in reality. This is an extremely powerful form of psychological suggestion.

If he explicitly tells Rou'er that picking this Acacia Heartbreak Red requires a person with true feelings, someone whose heart is filled with unreserved love, then the moment Rou'er chooses to try, she will subconsciously be constantly confirming her feelings for Yu Xiaoheng.

This kind of attempt can become an emotional catalyst.

If she succeeds, it will definitively prove that her love for him has reached the point where she is willing to risk her life.

Although thinking like this makes me seem a bit vain, or even cold-hearted.

But Yu Xiaoheng felt that if the situation really deteriorated to an irreversible point in the future, if a 100,000-year-old soul beast really needed to be sacrificed...

With this psychological suggestion and emotional insurance, the sacrificial process will certainly be much safer.

This is taking advantage of a girl's sincerity.

Looking into Rou'er's clear and curious eyes, Yu Xiaoheng was caught off guard by a wave of guilt.

But this feeling of guilt lasted only half a second.

He is an ordinary person who is always wavering, but he is also Yu Xiaoheng, who is determined to survive and stand at the top in the Douluo Continent surrounded by wolves.

The plan must be executed.

“This is called the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red.” Yu Xiaoheng looked directly at Rou’er, his voice steady. “It is a divine herb. But it recognizes its master. Only someone who has true love in their heart and is completely devoted without any ulterior motives can pluck it from this piece of black blood stone.”

He paused, then emphasized his words.

"If you are even slightly distracted or have any other scheming, you will suffer the backlash of the medicine and fail completely."

Rou'er was stunned.

She stared blankly at the unremarkable flower.

A moment later, her gaze returned to Yu Xiaoheng.

Without backing down or asking why Yu Xiaoheng had failed, Rou'er's eyes instead shone with a defiant spirit.

"I'll give it a try." Rou'er stepped forward, her tone extremely decisive.

She stood before the black blood stone.

As the distance closed, the peculiar scent emanating from the Acacia Heartbreak Red rose enveloped her nose.

Rou'er closed her eyes.

The sound of the spring water churning in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire gradually faded away.

She bit her tongue, forcing out a mouthful of warm blood.

Her head bowed slightly, and crimson blood dripped from the corner of her lips, landing precisely on the withered, dark red petals of the Acacia crape myrtle.

Time seemed to slow down at that moment.

Yu Xiaoheng's gaze was fixed on that flower, and his breathing slowed down.

The moment when blood and sweat touch the petals.

The once lifeless flower crown, like rain after a long drought, instantly swallowed up the drop of blood completely.

A dazzling, blood-like, viscous red light suddenly burst forth from the center of the flower's heart.

The light grew brighter and brighter.

The withered petals began to plump up, radiating an amazing vitality.

The flower stems below also began to shake violently.

The roots, which were originally as firm as a rock and clung tightly to the black blood stone, began to loosen little by little.

One-third of it has fallen off.

half.

Two-thirds.

The red light shone on Rou'er's face. The flower branch had completely tilted, and it looked like only a little bit of strength was needed for the entire Acacia Heartbreak Red to completely detach from the Black Blood Stone and fall into her hands.

Yu Xiaoheng's heart started racing.

He had even secretly circulated his soul power, preparing to catch the immortal herb and deal with any unexpected situations.

but.

Chapter 471 Brothers Reunite

Just at the moment when the only remaining root of the Acacia crape myrtle was still attached to the stone.

Rou'er's eyelashes suddenly trembled.

Her brow furrowed unnaturally, as if something else had flashed through her mind in that instant.

It was this tiny, fleeting thought.

A sudden change occurred.

The dazzling crimson light on the acacia blossoms suddenly subsided.

The flower branch, which was already leaning and about to fall off completely, was pulled upside down by an extremely powerful invisible force and plunged back into the black blood stone.

The plump petals withered instantly, returning to their original shriveled state.

The red light went out.

The harvest failed.

Yu Xiaoheng was stunned.
